1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

For life to reach space, it must first escape Earth's gravity-hence exposure to hypergravity during launch, and interplanetary acceleration and deceleration. Long-term colonisation of space requires the establishment of sustainable, in situ, food production systems. Earthworms may be involved as a regolith/soil ameliorant, a source of protein, and for organic waste conversion. Earthworms, however, have hydrostatic skeletons that may be susceptible to hypergravity exposure. We investigated whether earthworms (
